So far everything goes well. >>>> >>>>(I think it is suspose to read you can take supplements now.)The hb is a bit low for 6 weeks but hopefully it will pick up at the next u/s. Call your doctor and ask for a repeat hcg, progesterone. If the hcg is continuing to rise I would request progesterone supplements.-- >>>>AIHP - ACCA - Paris France >>>>OBGYN.net Editorial Advisor >>>>Urogynecology Editorial Advisory Board >>>>http://www.obgyn.net/corresp/cristalli.htm >>>> >Thank you to all who responded. I called my doctor today and the Dr. on call would not prescribe progesterone. Since I have been spotting for 8 days now, is it too late to take the supplements? What is the reason he won't prescribe it? I will ask for a blood test on Monday a.m. Thank you to all. > >-- >William F. von Almen, II, MD, FACOG >Chairman, Editorial Advisory Board >Pregnancy and Birth Section >Private Practice >New Orleans, La. > >*Please understand I can not respond to private emails. > >*These comments are for educational purposes only.
